Tarceva 100 mg tablet is a targeted therapy designed to combat specific types of cancer, primarily non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer. This medication works by inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein that, when overactive, can promote cancer cell growth and proliferation. By blocking this receptor, Tarceva helps to slow down or stop the progression of cancer, offering hope to patients facing these challenging diagnoses. It is essential to be aware that Tarceva may cause side effects, including skin rashes and gastrointestinal disturbances, which should be monitored closely by healthcare professionals. Patients are also advised to inform their doctors of any pre-existing conditions or medications to avoid potential interactions. As with any cancer treatment, it is crucial to adhere to prescribed dosages and follow medical guidance to ensure optimal efficacy and safety. With its unique mechanism of action, Tarceva stands as a vital option in the arsenal against certain malignancies, helping improve quality of life for many patients.
